Learn English as a Second Language Including Ellipticals

englishasasecondlanguage — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 05:14:05 +0000

The Language Communicator will help you practice your sentence structure for a better understanding of the language. The Language Communicator can be found at www.languagecommunicator.com. The webmaster will help you out at info@languagecommunicator.com. Some sentences in English require experience with the language for complete understanding because some words are left out. These sentences are elliptical. These might be mistaken for sentence fragments, but they are not fragments which are unacceptable grammatically. These elliptical sentences are often responses to questions where the left out words are understood because they are present in the question. Look at the following example. When did you eat lunch? When I was at the mall. The answer would be a fragment if appeared alone, but it isn’t because it is the answer to a question. Revise your writing to eliminate sentence fragments but don’t worry about elliptical sentences.
